List O' Links Fall News 2018 Edition!


I didn't plan on writing anything about fall this early, but due to a combination of milder temperatures and humidity this week and a plethora of fall-related news to share, I figured "why not?" So without further ado, here are some links to get you into the autumn spirit!

I'll start with the most important news of all--Matt from Dinosaur Dracula officially kicks off his 2018 Halloween Countdown tonight! No one loves Halloween more than Matt, and his love for the season is infectious. Make plans to see Madd Matt, Larry, Leviathan, and the whole crew starting tonight and lasting straight through October 31st!

Other big news: Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks unveil their fall specialties next week! Dunkin' starts Monday August 27th, and Starbucks starts the very next day, Tuesday August 28th. Pumpkin spice lattes are almost here!

Target is also readying it's fall flavor items for our consumption. From pumpkin spice pretzels to candy corn-flavored popcorn, there are plenty of autmnal goodies Target has to offer. Most items will be available Sunday, September 2nd.

Even Boston Market is getting in on the fall food action. Check out their garlic and herb chicken, loaded roasted potatoes, and cinnamon apple streusel. Delicious!

Fall is also the time when broadcast networks launch their new series and new episodes of returning favorites. TV Line provides a handy guide of the debut dates of new and returning shows here. Set your DVR accordingly!

If classic TV is your thing, retro network MeTV has announced its fall lineup. I'm sorry to see Batman go, but dude--they're bringing back Buck Rogers!

For you cord cutters out there, here are Netflix's new shows for September. Black Panther! Iron Fist! Scott Pilgrim and more!

Finally, we've discussed the sights and tastes of fall, but we can't leave out a very key component of the season--the scents! Glade brand air fresheners have announced their autumn scents for 2018--Warm Flannel Embrace and Cozy Autumn Cuddle (awww). Available in candles, wax melts, and aerosol sprays in stores now!*

*The press release doesn't mention the sprays, but trust me, they're available. I've seen them in stores.


That should be enough to quench your thirst for all things autumnal until the season arrives for real--and it will be here before you know it!

Have a great weekend! Squeeze in some last minute beach time and rollercoaster rides!

Here's to an awesome Fall season! Hopefully it goes nice and slow. And I think I am going to watch Buck Rogers. Haven't seen it since I was a kid.
